The pitot-static system of instruments uses the principle of air pressure gradient.
-> These pressures can be measured either from the static port or the pitot tube.
-> The pitot pressure is a measure of ram air pressure under ideal conditions, which is equal to stagnation pressure.
-> The static pressure is generally measured using the static ports on the side of the fuselage.

Measurement of a velocity is a common use of pitot tubes. The pitot tube measures the difference between stagnation pressure and static pressure. A value for the fluid density is also needed.

Then what does it measure?
